I'm in love with my book the secret Life of bees! I'm just finishing up the last couple of pages and I really enjoyed reading it. And since this is my last blogpost I'm gonna make it a really good one (:

In the book the secret life of bee's the main character lily's father is a very angry man, and he seems to have a lot of built up anger for Lily. Lily's mom died when she was little because an explosion that lily had accidentally caused and lily's father had told her it was all her fault and such cruel things as your mother never loved you and much worse. I think the ways of the father are the reason that Lily is forcing herself to grow up so fast to try and get away from her father and try and be her own person with out his nasty remarks.

This book also explores many big topics and issue's and one of them is definitely racism. It shows how people back then ar very different although it still may go on in the world today. While Lily was staying at the house with the sisters and they had just found out about may passing away t hey had to police come in to the house and when he came he saw that Lily was staying with them and was shocked to see her around them. Then when the cop talked to her I was shocked to hear some of the rude things he was saying and at on point he had said to Lily "Take my advice and call your aunt and tell her to come on and get you, even if she isn't a hundred percent well. These people are colored people here. You understand what I'm saying?" it grossed me out how the cop could talk as if they we're some kind of animals and not people.

I was always pretty mature for my age and I would always be with older people and it seemed like I was trying to grow up faster than I already was and that's why I really connected with this book so much because I think that Lily somewhat resembles me and what I would be like in her situation. I also read some pretty amazing and inspiring quotes like "let's imagine for a moment that we are tiny enough to follow a bee into a hive. Usually the first thing we would have to get used to is the darkness..." and it kind of says that in order for you to get to the best part of life you have to go through the bad times and the darkness befor you see the lightandit really inspired me to hear something like that.
